简要总结
This study aims to prospectively investigate the relationship between a number of clinical and biomechanical variables and running-related injuries among a group of novice and recreational runners over a two year time period. To date, the incidence of running injuries among runners is high, with a lack of prospective research investigating the factors related to injury. It is thought that loading in excess of the tissues capabilities may be be a contributing factor to sustaining a running related injury. As such, this study hypothesizes that biomechanical factors may be related to injury.
Healthy participants will perform a battery of clinical tests at baseline, as well as completing a survey that details their injury history and training habits. Kinematic and kinetic motion analysis will be used as participants perform a series of functional movements and a treadmill run. Enrolled participants will be monitored for the occurrence of running-related injuries via email for the duration of the study.
详细描述
Recruitment:
Novice and recreational runners will be recruited via emails, posters and social media. A novice runner is defined as a person who has not been running on a regular basis during the last year and completed ≤10km total training volume per week during the preceding year. A recreational runner will be defined as a person who runs a minimum of 10km per week, for at least six months prior to inclusion in the study.
Study Protocol:
Upon screening for inclusion and exclusion, participants will complete a baseline evaluation. This will consist of 1.) A survey, 2.) A battery of clinical tests and 3.) Motion analysis testing. A description of each component is detailed below.

入选标准
- •Runners aged 18-65
- •Run minimum once per week
排除标准
- •No lower limb injury within the last three months
- •An injury will be defined as:
- •Any muscle, bone, tendon or ligament pain in the lower back, hip, groin, thigh, leg, knee, foot, ankle and toe that caused the participant to stop or restrict their running.
- •The pain must last for at least 7 days or 3 consecutive scheduled training sessions, or require the participant to consult a physician or other health care professional.
结局指标
主要结局
Peak loading (N/s) during running and jumping movements.
时间窗: One two hour session on day one of enrollment into the study.
This data will be derived from the inertial measurement units (Shimmer, Dublin, Ireland) attached to the legs and pelvis and using forceplate data (AMTI, Watertown, USA).
The occurrence of a running-related injury
时间窗: 6 week intervals from enrollment in the study, up to the total study time period of 2 years.
Participants will be followed up on a 6 week basis via email. A running-related injury will be defined as any muscle, bone, tendon or ligament pain in the lower back, hip, groin, thigh, leg, knee, foot, ankle and toe that caused the participant to stop or restrict their running. The pain must last for at least 7 days or 3 consecutive scheduled training sessions, or require the participant to consult a physician or other health care professional.
Rate of loading (N/s2) during running.
时间窗: One two hour session on day one of enrollment into the study
This data will be derived from the inertial measurement units (Shimmer, Dublin, Ireland) attached to the legs and pelvis and using forceplate data (AMTI, Watertown, USA).
次要结局
- Injury history in the past 2 years.(10 minute questionnaire on day one of enrollment into the study.)
- Training history- type(10 minute questionnaire on day one of enrollment into the study.)
- Training history- duration(10 minute questionnaire on day one of enrollment into the study.)
- Peak range of motion (degrees) at the knee, hip and ankle during running.(During a 15 minute run during one two hour session on day 1 of enrollment into the study.)
- Training history-frequency(10 minute questionnaire on day one of enrollment into the study.)
- Training history- mileage(10 minute questionnaire on day one of enrollment into the study.)
